Was kinda hoping he didnt get suspended so we could beat them straight up. Now this is what many will remember. What he did was excessive tho so I understand.
I mean if you grabbed my ankle during some game I might step on you too, ngl, I think anyone whos played ball long enough vs decent competition has had situations where players go after your lower body, though zaza pachulia/bruce bowen style undercutting is most common.. but Draymond loading up full force to stomp hard as he could like that is a different story and a bad look... Him barking at the crowd right afterwards, another bad look, ya knew in that moment it was only gonna make his situation worse n I'm sure it did.
As far as setting an example goes, the NBA did the right thing, you dont want all the younger generations/ballers seeing that type of unsportsmanlike action go unpunished.
As for its affect on game 3;
Looney staying out of foul trouble is now way more important.. It'd seem Sabonis can hurt them even more now..
Kuminga's now in a position to have all the opportunity for a big game.. He's obviously the next man up, and while he hasnt done much in the first 2 games he's plenty capable. Figures there's more opportunity for Wiggins to be played at PF.
Will this result in more steals for the Kings? We've been pesky enough in the first 2 games, were jumping passing lanes, is this gonna result in less crisp passing from the Warriors? you'd think so but I mean if they come out n play their game it might not be.
Can we demoralize them easier now? What happens if we can really jump on them early? Obviously they'll still go down swinging, they are the defending champs.
If we win this game 3, which is ofc a big 'if' that means we'd have the opportunity to sweep them on their homecourt.. crazy.. I really hope this is the game Threegan Murray shows up, would be timely.
